Mad Men

Any fans on here?

I've just started getting into it, and am halfway through season two.

Halfway through series 1 here and wondering if it ever gets going?

Is it all just style over substance?

[marcosgt]

There's some substance in there, but it's well hidden by the Style and, in my view, that aspect gets worse with each series...

I'm quite enjoying it actually, and I appreciate the attention to detail as well.

Is it on the box anywhere?

[ApexJimi]

Dunno dude, I've been watching it from a box set.

I've watched all series, currently watching season 5 on sky Atlantic. I think it's brilliant, probably one of the best things Ive watched on tv.
I'm biased though, I work in an ad agency.

Saying that, this season is a season too far IMO.

Exactly this. It took me 3 attempts to get into season one, but I got there and polished s2 off over two weeks, s3 in 1 week and s4 in 3 nights (just this week!). It's good, but it is one of those "say something that makes no sense and then pull a pondorous face" type shows.

That said, the lawn mower episode in s3 made me laugh out loud. Much prefer the storylines about the business than Don's life.
